Whoopie pies, oh my! My helpers… wait a second, can you call a 2-year old and 4-year old “helpers”… probably not, they’re more like my “taste testers”. So, my “taste-testers” and I have been in the kitchen all morning… makin’ whoopie pies! We’ve had an absolutely delightful time but I’m now exhausted. Here are pictures of our adventure…
How hilarious is the Raiger? Demanding in both pictures that she get not one but “two of ‘em”. Never a dull moment around here.
To make your own adventure:
- 1 box Devil’s Food Cake mix
follow instructions on back of box ** except ** add only 3/4 C of water and ADD 1 small pkg of instant chocolate pudding - Drop by small spoonfuls onto parchment paper lined baking sheets.
- Bake at 350 for 8-10 mins… to over cook is better than to under cook. Trust me! Mine took closer to 1o mins and then I let them cool on the hot baking sheets. If you take them off too early they are gooey gobs of mess!
- Let cool completely on parchment paper.
- Load ‘em up with buttercream frosting and for fun you can sprinkle some powdered sugar on top!
I know true Whoopie Pies don’t have buttercream frosting but I attempted 7-minute frosting {the marshmallow-y kind} and well it was a total disaster… I’m blaming it on the humidity. You could fill yours with Marshmallow Fluff… but I didn’t have any on hand and that stuff is hard to spread.

Those stars indicate a sudject change… at least on my blog they do!
Do you feel like the older you get the better you know yourself and recognize your little quirks? I really do not like to shop. Gasp! It’s true. Fortunately, my sister is not only design savvy but also fashion savvy and happens to pass down most of her clothes {that she likes to shop for} to me. You will more than likely never, ever, ever see me at the mall {unless I’m doing a return or exchange} but on any given day you can find me at any SUPPLY STORE. I have a SUPPLY STORE weakness…
art & craft supplies
restaurant supplies
office supplies
teacher supplies
Seriously. My most recent favorites being the teacher supply store and restaurant supply store. During the 15 minutes I was in the teacher supply store last week I almost decided I needed to homeschool my children… it was that influential! Next, the restaurant supply store… remember those mugs? Well, yesterday I went back for some more and absolutely was held hostage by these jadite green cafeteria plates! I got 6 divided plates and 6 little bowls {I can only imagine that they would be sitting in any cafeteria line holding jello cubes or banana pudding!}. They unfortunately weren’t as cheap as the mugs but I love them because they have nothing on them. Why on earth does our culture think that children’s plates and utensils must have Disney princesses on them? I have a bone to pick with those folks. The bike is bad enough… but we will not eat over Ariel’s face any longer.
Happy Friday, friends!
Hmm…will we or won't we???
